    Jessica stops, sniffs deeply and slowly a few times, turning a circle in the process, and sighs. "All over. No matter where we go we'll hit one soon enough. Maybe Shadow had a point."

    "How is the rhyming my fault? And what do you mean, invited? Who said my presence was optional? Hey! Where are you going? Where is she going? Why are you walking toward the fires?"

    James sighs and shrugs at the Shadow, "They don't listen!"

    Jessica snorts. "Oh, don't get your panties in a bunch. We want to have a nice tasty lunch, so we'll give those fires a sloppy wet punch. You coming along, in the crunch?"

    Jessica tracks the smell of burritos to a small cul-de-sac off what appears to at least be a street or a gap between buildings where people walk or bike. The buildings are stacked high around you, lower levels made out of metal from the original Trinity construction, built upon with ramshackle wood and plaster, and topped off with refuse and cardboard huts. You take a small tunnel or passage under one of these slum buildings to get into the cul-de-sac.

    As the three refugees from the Citadel enter the space, you can smell the burning wood all around you - in fact, the buildings that make up the cul-de-sac are all on fire, tongues of flames licking at the ones directly above you! Jessica's nose was not off - a pot of beef and spices is dashed out on the ground - but there is no service to be seen. Quite to the contrary, the cook is likely one of the people trapped in the buildings - heads and faces popped out of windows, crying in fear, screaming: "Help! Help! Help!"

    You enter the center of the courtyard, and hear more noises from behind you - the entrance, in fact. Another group of stocky men stands there, having emerged from the shadows. One of them wears a large plastic shark mask. "Hey, chuwero. Why don't you pick on someone your own size." Two more big bruisers appear from behind the shark-man.

    Hearing the screams as he makes his way around the area the Shadow pauses to look at the situation. Shaking his head as he notes the people from earlier tied up with the Sharks. The exposed skin around his hands and face are covered with soot as he teleports to one of the windows with people leaning out, appearing inside the burning room, offering his hands to the people inside. "Take my hands, I'll get you to safety."

    "Pine, see if you can choke these fires with your plants. I'll take care of these morons," Jessica whispers, then turns to the thugs. "My own size? Right now, it looks like you're the same size as me - well, physically. Mentally, not so much." She grins, exposing a threatening array of teeth, and anticipates administering a well-deserved smackdown. We didn't tolerate gangs in Sawa, and I won't stand for it here either. They're getting in the way of my goddamn burrito!

    "Uhh, not sure how plants work in your world, but fire and plant here don't mix. As in fire beats plant. People I can take. But yeah, fire....I don't like fire." Her skins starts to turn to bark again. She looks from the fire to the bruisers to the fire. "Jes, I don't like this." She reaches for her bow and if one looks closely is shaking slightly.

    "Maybe you uhh...shark heads would like to help get those people from the building? Because really that would be more useful than picking on a small girl like me."

    "In my world, if you toss a lot of green wood in a fire, it's liable to put out a lot of smoke, and maybe get smothered. But hey, you know what you can do better than I." Jessica shrugs. I guess we'll have to tackle the fires after these morons are out of the way. "Also, I don't think these guys are going to play nice no matter how much you sweet-talk them. Nobody wearing a mask that ugly is smart enough to avoid fighting us." She deliberately delivered the last sentence loudly enough for them to hear, not just Pine.

    Jessica grows to her previous tractor-trailer size and grins, exposing a very frightening array of teeth. "You really don't want to get in my way, especially with that dumb-ass mask." He gulps, and Jessica socks him in the gut, twice, followed by an elbow to the ribs, and a roundhouse kick to the face, sending him flying backwards. "While you're out, get me a burrito, bitch," Jessica calls out mockingly.
    Growth to Huge as a Free action, Strength +16, Constitution +8, Toughness increases by 4
    Intimidate as a move action: 8 ranks + 2 Charisma + 4 for Huge vs. Medium - 5 move + 1d20 = 26 vs. 18 will http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2896046/ The lieutenant is now Demoralized, with -2 for all actions for the next round and +1 to resist further Demoralization attempts.
    Attack: +8 base - 4 Huge +2 All-Out Attack (-2 defense for the next round) + 1d20 = 26 vs 17 Defense Crit woo!
    Damage: 5 base + 12 Strength modifier + 5 confirmed critical since 19 would also have hit the lieutenant + 1d20 = 36 versus 16 Toughness.
    Knockback: 22 damage bonus - 8 Toughness save = 14 Knockback, which would presumably send him back into a building and take him out of the fight, along with punching a hole in whatever he hit, if I've accounted for everything properly.

    Jessica's punch sends the shark-headed man flying back with a mighty *KRAK*. He goes crashing through a tenement wall, disappearing into a fiery corridor. The gang members, seeing their leader taken down with a single blow, swarm the alien girl, slashing at her with a thicket of machetes. *snick-snick* One finds purchase, knocking Jessica off balance and bruising her.

    One of the tall bruisers leans into the catlike Jessica, raising his pipe - only to be beaten from behind by the other one. "Hey! Don't hurt my new amigos!" The two gangbangers circle each other warily, weapons at the ready.

    Jessica rocks back from the blow, breathing heavily. Her eyes widen at the opposition suddenly around her, but she bares her teeth, grinning fiercely. "You want into the big leagues, boys? *pant* Come on, let's play." She picks a goon at random, and launches a right hook to his jaw.

    The Pine Needler's vines sprout out of the cracked pavement and trodden waste of the slum plaza, going *craaack* as they wrap around the legs and arms of enemies. Even James the fixer and Jessica are caught up in their fertile growth, the tendrils grasping for their legs but failing to find purchase. Three of the enemies, however, are caught, pulled into the air and held helplessly aloft."Argh ugh!" they cry as they attempt to break free. The larger gangbanger does break free with a mighty "HURGH!" and a flexing of his muscles.

    Jessica wheels on one of the thugs, pasting him into the ground with a loud *thwack!*

    The other thugs attempt to turn on her, slashing away with their machetes, but only one hits. He carves off a little fur from the alien, *snick* goes the shave and the empty air.

Blinking away from where he is, he appears briefly next to one of the Gangbangers, giving him a contemptous back handed slice of his shadow knife, then reappearing in a blink right where he was standing in front of the gang member.

    A massive punch by Jessica and a spray of fire from James knock out their targets - a gangbanger and another member of the gang slump to the floor unconscious. The Shadow's knives sweep another into the dark night.

    The remaining gang members fight on, beating at Jessica with their machetes. One cuts her deeply again, the others missing - and one of the men who missed is in turn missed himself by the entranced gangbanger's iron pipe.
